Borough Streetspace schemes funded by Transport for London

Caroline Russell: You announced on 3 June 2020 the award of £6 million to schemes for Streetspace in ten London boroughs. Can you provide the list of all 136 schemes, their type, funds awarded, delivery dates, start and end points, and borough?

The Mayor: My LondonStreetspaceprogramme is fast-tracking the transformation of our city’s streets by widening pavements, creating temporary cycle lanes and closing roads to through-traffic. Transport for London (TfL) and London’s boroughs have already begun making changes that will help Londoners as lockdown restrictions are lifted and longer term, and will be rolling out its plansquicklyto make an instant difference.
TfL has now received bids from all London boroughs for the borough-led element of the programme. Funding is being awarded in tranches. The attachments set out the first three of an expected six tranches of allocations. Attachment one summarises the distribution by type of scheme and by borough. The second attachment lists the projects individually or by grouping. TfL cannot yet give start or end dates as that will be a matter for the respective boroughs to establish and inform TfL now that funding has been awarded. Note that in some cases only partial funding has been awarded to allow for discussion with TfL about greater detail, and/or further development of potentially complex projects. TfL continues to assess bids from boroughs, and further funding will be awarded in the coming weeks. I have asked TfL to keep you updated. TfL is also meeting sunk costs at boroughs for work that has been done in the early weeks on 2020/21, and meeting core transport staff costs. This totals to just over £13m.
